What You'll Need
- 1 beef rib eye roast (about 4 pounds)
- 5 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- 3/4 teaspoon ground dried tarragon
- 1 (10- to 12-ounce) jar brown gravy
- 1/4 cup dry red wine
What to Do
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a large roasting pan with cooking spray. Place roast fat side up in pan.
- In a small bowl, combine garlic, salt, pepper, thyme, and tarragon; mix well, then reserve 2 teaspoons of the mixture. Rub all but the reserved spice mixture evenly over the roast.
- Roast 1-1/4 to 1-1/2 hours for medium-rare (150 degrees F. on a meat thermometer), or until desired doneness. Remove from oven and allow to stand 10 minutes before cutting.
- In a medium saucepan, heat brown gravy, red wine, reserved spice mixture, and pan drippings over medium low heat 8 to 10 minutes, or until heated through, mixing well.
- Slice the rib eye across the grain and serve with the sauce.
Notes
- Nothing goes better with prime rib than baked potatoes, and since the oven is already on to make the roast, making the potatoes is easy as 1-2-3.

Fun Fact: The prime rib is from the "primal rib", the area behind the shoulder, but above the lower back of the cow! It is one of the eight primal cuts of beef, and includes some of the most tender muscles on the entire animal. As you can see, this cut of meat is perfect for your holiday dinner party!
